It's a lot of work living the life that you want to live, but that's what I'm doing.

Don't shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.

Photographers can either look out the window at the world or they can look in the mirror.

So, according to the religious, you can only be good if you're scared of the consequences of being bad? Strange, I thought people were good because they care about each other?

The most important questions a human can ever ask must surely deserve the most convincing answers, not simply the most comforting?

Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.

There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

A man ain't got no right to be a public man, unless he meets the public views.

Mostly what ends up inspiring me and affecting my work are books by authors that I love.

I feel very fortunate to have been a part of many successful contemporary horror franchises.

The corporation is not a person; it is a legal fiction backed up by guns and police and jail cells and taxing authorities and the regulators called government.

The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel.

It's the same old thing getting lost Day 'N' Nite young and lost in the pain.

I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty.
